T o all whom t lmay concern:

Be it known that I, VIRGIL H. HAYWORTH, a citizen of the United States, residing'at Santa Fe, in the county of Santa Fe and State of NexwMeXico, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Camp Stoves, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in camp stoves and particularly to a device of this character wherein the parts are adap-ted to be folded one upon another and fitted within a. carrying case so that thestove may be readily carried from one place to another, or packed in a small space for storage.

An object of the invention is to provide a camp stove of the character? described provided with means for controlling or regulating the draft to the lire built lunder the grid forming a part of the device. Y f *Y Another object of the invention is to provide a camp stove vof the character nientioned having a pair Vof side plates connected and held in spaced relation at the upper lend by a pluralityT of grate barspa pair of end plates hingedly mounted at one end to the side plates and adapted to be arranged in angular relation beyond said end plates to forma draft chamber at onev end of the grate, and another pair of plates pivotally connected to the other end of the side plates are adapted for cooperation to close the spacebetween the side plates and below the grate bars for assisting in controlling the draft to the fire.

A still further object ofthe invention is to provide a device of the class described, for carrying out the abovementioned objects in which all the partsjareV adapted to be folded one upon the other when the device is not in use into compact relation to be placed in a. carrying case so that the stove may be readilyT carried about from place to place and which lwill take up a relatively small space when in closed relation.

The invention comprehends further improvements and other objects inthe details of construction and arrangement of parts which `are particularly pointed out in the following description and claims and in the drawings showing the preferred form of the invention, it being understood that changes may be made in the specific details of construction and arrangement of the vparts without departing from the spirit and line 3*-3 of Figurel.

l Figure 3 is a sect1 in the ion of the stove las onal view taken on the Figure 4 is a` transverse-section taken on the linee-0f Figure 1.

l indicates a pair of side plates, each of which is' formed lof she-et metal having its i edges bent over a rectangular wire frame 2 to provide a relatively strong plate structure. Each side plate isv formed along the upper edge and below the member 2 with a pluralityof openings 3 arranged in spaced relation for receiving the looped ends of the grate bars 5 ofthe grate which secure the side plates together and hold them in relative spaced 'relation A pair of bracing stakes t3 are provided with loops at one endextending throughopenings in the side plates and around the frame member 2 at the upper edge thereof as indicated at 7,l and the other ends are pointed and adapted for insertion 1n the ground to effectively brace the side plates and prevent the stove from collapsing under the weight of objects on the grate bars or contact of. objects with the side plates l.v 'y

At the left hand ends of the side vplates as shown in'Figure l, a pair of end plates 8 are pivotally secured 'to the 'side plates by means of straps V8', said plates being adapted to be positioned at an angle with each kother when the stove is set up forform ing a chamber `beyond the ends of a grate adapted to permit' a draft for the fire built under the gratte. These end platesjS are formed of sheet metal' having the edges bent over frame members in the same'manner as the side plates 1,' to prevent the burning fuel under the grate from falling into the chamber formed by the end plates, a pair of rods 9 are mounted on the end grate bar adjacent the left hand edge of the side plates through the eyes formed on one end thereof.

A pair of doors 10 formed of sheet metal having the edges bent over frame .members in substantially the same manner as the side plates l are hingedly-connected to the right hand end of the side plates as shown in Figure l, by strap members ll connected with the vdoors and the side plates l in the sarne manner as the connections Ifor the doors 8 which is shown in detail in Figure 6. These doors l are of smaller size than the plates 8 and the inner edges are adapted to overlap as shown in Figure l, to close the open end of the chamber formed between the side vplates and under the `grate bars in which the fire sabuilt for controlling the draft admitted bythe plates 8 at the other end. These plates may be arranged as shown in the positions in Figure l, or may be arranged at an angle with each other leaving an open space between the free ends for permitting a relatively weak or strong draft to act on the fire. The grate bars lfoi-nn a supporting grid for the cooking vessel as will be obvious from the showing .in Figures l and 2.

It will be observed from Figure 3 how the bars 9 extend downwardly from the end grate bar to prevent the coals from the fire, which may be heaped up quite high under the grate bars, from falling. outwardly into the chamber formed by the plates 8. It will be also apparent fronn Figure 8 and also Figure 4 how the straps carried by each door or plate mount the respective` parts in pivotal relation with t-he end plates. c

-When it is desired to fold the stove for placing it in the carrying case, the end plat-es 8 are swung outwardly on their pivots and positioned against the side plates on the outsidethereof, the doorslO are also swung outwardly against the outside of the side plate as indicated clearly by the arrows 'in Figure l. The brace'memb'ers 6 andthe bars y9 are swung inwardly against theg'rate bars 5V and the side plates with the door and end plates are folded inwardly against the grate bars one on top oftheother, in which position the stove'is in a compact folded condition adapted for insertion in the case. f ,Y

It will be clear from the above description that a foldable campk stove is lrovi'ded with means for effectively contro ing the draft to a lire under the grate which is ,foldable when not in use intoal ooinpact form for insertion into the carrying case'.
